Hard luck on Algeria who certainly played their part in a great advert for football.
Great to see a game full of drama and endeavour instead of the usual theatricals and histrionics.
It's been a world cup filled with inspired performances from the underdogs. Iran against Argentina, for example, or Australia v. the Netherlands -- and even Costa Rica's run to the Quarter-finals. In the end the top teams are making it through but they've not had it easy!
